Oh, wait, it is 2007, not 1907. It is nice to see such bold moves by lawmakers and justices, but I guess this was want the president and his cronies wanted when they put 2 conservatives into the Supreme Court--to strike down laws that have been on the books for years, just because they don't like them. It is so comforting to know that our lawmakers and justices know more about the medical practice then the doctors!

I can see no relevance to the medical claims presented in a previous post since the pregnancy is carried out full term anyway. In most P.B.abortions, the brains are sucked out of a living, crying baby, but because the head is not yet out of the womb it should be alright. The government force one to protect himself with seatbelt and helmet laws (I didn't notice any of you liberals posting objections to those), but should not be allowed to protect a crying baby. P.B.abortion is not a "medical" issue for women just a matter of convenience.AbortionProcedureBanRayK, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayunehttp://connect.nola.com/user/rkoenig/index.html

We have slowly been losing our rights as individuals, while the current administration has imposed its will around the world and at home with disastrous results. To see these rights eroded is appalling. It is so ironic that we are supposedly fighting to bring freedom from oppression in other countries, as we see it stripped away here. As a woman, I am deeply offended by this ?decision.? This is a medical issue that has been exploited for political gain.

Numerically it seems every baby that is killed, another illegal takes his/her place. How doctors can perform this hideous procedure is beyond me. Just look at out own "leaders". They spend more time studying/talking/fighting about if we should allow damn chickens to fight. Mr. Vitter wasted several days with the senate to have a law passed to make it illegal to transport chicken fighting materials across state lines. This in no way prevents you shipping of guns or illegal drugs. What a joke these people are. What can I say, we elect them.

They will ban football for its violence and suck the brains out of a child. Do not suggest that you speak for women. Partial Birth Abortion is sick and you have to be mentally insane to think otherwise. The good people of Nazi Germany turned a blind eye to atrocity to spare their own convenient lives, the good people of many a nation chose convenience and allowed slavery to go on. Abortion is no different, no matter how much you lie to yourself. We are not talking about some weird religious belief. We are talking about whether it is okay to kill children.

Shame on the Court!tag:blog.nola.com,2007:/inyourownwords//1507.2736722007-04-18T21:33:31Z2007-07-27T18:16:29ZMark Stafford of New Orleans, LA, writes:What right do a bunch of old white-haired judges have to make a decision like this? This country is going down the toilet fast. If the court ever succeeds in banning all abortions, then it's back to the alley with a coat hanger for this country's women, who apparently don't have the right to decide what is best for themselves. Shame on the court and the ignorant lawmakers who are guided by their religious beliefs rather than by law. This is a slap in the face of everyone's civil liberties.

A fetus is a human being. When a baby is born, his digestive system, swallowing ability, is not yet mature enough to handle solid food. So why don't we allow a baby to killed at one week of age? Because it's MURDER. Definition of murder...killing a human being. It's also MURDER at one, two, three, six, nine months pre-birth. At the time of conception that is a human being. I have known 3 women who have had abortions...none of them Catholic at the time. All three have suffered unbelievably over their decision to have an abortion. Two of them became suicidal in their depression over it.
